LHISD Prekindergarten Program

Welcome to Liberty Hill ISD Prekindergarten!

The goal of LHISD’s PreK program is to give students the skills needed to be successful in kindergarten and to instill in them a love of learning. We do this by focusing on social, emotional and physical development, building a strong foundation of pre-reading, writing and math skills, and providing opportunities for students to learn through play. We understand the importance of family involvement and we provide a variety of opportunities for families to partner with the school in the education of their child.
